Mitsu Chem Plast, a leading certified manufacturer of polymer-based moulded products, has made a strategic foray into the Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) vertical.
The company is setting up a modern, fully automatic facility for IBC by September as part of its product expansion journey.
IBCs are large industrial containers used to store, transport and handle bulk liquids, semi-solids, pastes and solids.
Widely deployed across chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agrochemical and specialty industries. Their stackable, reusable and space-efficient design makes them the preferred packaging solution for bulk liquid handling globally, said the company.
The new IBC facility represents a significant capital investment and a strategic leap forward for Mitsu Chem Plast. The plant will feature a fully automated IBC, integrating blow moulding and assembly under one roof - enabling high-volume production with precision and efficiency.
The expansion is aligned with India’s growing demand for industrial bulk packaging solutions and the global shift towards standardised, reusable bulk liquid containers, said the company.
With existing manufacturing operations in Boisar (Tarapur) and Khalapur, Mitsu Chem Plast is well-positioned to scale its IBC production.
The global IBC market is witnessing strong growth, driven by increasing demand for efficient and safe bulk liquid transportation, particularly in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. India’s burgeoning industrial economy is fuelling domestic demand for quality IBCs.
Sanjay Dedhia, Managing Director of Mitsu Chem Plast said, “The IBC vertical represents a natural and exciting evolution of our product portfolio.
With the fully automatic IBC facility expected to be commissioned in Q2 FY27, the company is not just entering a new product category, but venturing into precision, scale and a commitment to quality that customers have always trusted the company for, he added.
